Santee National Wildlife Refuge, situated on the 110,600-acre Lake Marion reservoir in Summerton, SC, encompasses over 15,000 acres of public lands across four units. The refuge, home to a diverse array of wildlife in its forests, wetlands, fields, and open water, also safeguards a culturally significant 1200-year-old Native American site.

Seasonally closing certain areas to provide sanctuary for wintering waterbirds, Santee NWR offers visitors a chance to disconnect from daily stresses and immerse themselves in outdoor activities like hiking, biking, hunting, fishing, and boating. With a focus on conservation and outdoor recreation, the refuge collaborates with partners to enhance wildlife habitats and promote educational opportunities for all who visit.
